Well, well, well. My previous post here has achieved a quick result. The KCA has now forwarded the entire list of approved tunas which was previously banned from further publication by Melbourne's Kosher Australia. Actually it seems from the time and date that their reaction was almost immediate! Good work.
Looks like a bit of public kvetching still works.
Thank you AJN Watch for you assistance by publishing my earlier complaint.

I was in Yumi's fish shop in Ripponlea last week and they are selling their own brand of Thailand tuna (in both water and vegetable oil) 170 gms for around $1.50 each - which is around or even better than the price of the above lists. And it has a local hechsher - Adass I think.
ReplyDeleteBuying it by the box usually gets you a substantially lower price
They also have large tins at even a better price. Quality is excellent
